Hotel Schwaiger

“A 4* hotel that is well worth your money (if you don't mind to do some travelling and walking)”

As a 4* hotel, Hotel Schwaiger offers very attractive prices at the time of my booking. So what's the catch in the deal? Did it really live up to my expectation of a 4* hotel? First the location.

As a 4* hotel, Hotel Schwaiger offers very attractive prices at the time of my booking. So what's the catch in the deal? Did it really live up to my expectation of a 4* hotel? First the location. It wasn't that much of a good start. It was not within the walking distance of the old town, and the nearest metro/tram stop Hradčanská is 15 min walk away, and it definitely wasn't pleasant to drag your luggage through the cobble stoned pavements uphill and downhill. (it was a good test of how durable your luggage wheels were) There was a restaurant immediately opposite the hotel (as well as the hotel's own restaurant). But other than these if you need other food, or a supermarket or any other shop then you had to go back to Hradčanská. Being near to Hradčanská has its own advantages. It is very close to the castle hill and it is a very convenient traffic hub to lots of places, including Cesky Krumlov. So besides the location, were there any other alarm bells? Well in the one night that I stayed (Unfortunately due to adverse weather conditions, we could only arrive a few days later and so our stay here was just 1 night instead of 4.) I really couldn't find anything. We got the attic room and it was spacious, clean and modern. I guess it was more like a penthouse than an attic as I didn't feel cramped there. Even the bathroom was spacious. You got all the modern amenities that you would get in a 4* hotel, including a coffee machine, an electronic safe and some slippers. (Yes you had to climb up the last flight of stairs as the lift could not reach there but that's understandable for an attic room) The beds were comfortable and being in a "remote" location means it was really quiet at night. I guess the best part of our one night stay was really the breakfast in the next morning. The choices were plentiful and the quality was good, even the fried eggs tasted fresh and seasoned, and you could make your own waffle. It was a shame we didn't have a chance to try out the hotel's restaurant for other meals due to our limited time there. All in all, if you do not mind the location I think this hotel is perfect.

“Loved it”

A bit off the” beaten track” but well worth staying there. Surprisingly easy to get into a huge park, walk to the river, restaurants, traditional pubs and public transport. The reception staff were so helpful, giving maps, directions, suggestions and even cheap public transport options for over 60s - wish we had known about this during our previous hotel stay! For beakfast there was a wide variety of food, all beautifully presented. I loved the waffle maker and the toaster which automatically lowered the bread into it for toasting - clever. Our room was spacious, very comfortable with 2 armchairs as well as a desk chair. The minibar was well stocked and not expensive. It was all very calm and peaceful. The “thank you for staying” gift was a nice touch too. Would definitely go back.

“Amazing”

From the minute we stepped in to the minute we left could not fault anything. Hotel spotless room lovely and spacious. Brill shower. The 2 nights guys yan and yan where amazing. Went the extra mile every time. Would highly recommend this lively quaint hotel.

“City out”

Everything is fine, but keep in mind some minuses: The rooms on the second floor have a wooden ceiling and all movements in the upper rooms are CLEARLY heard in the rooms below.... The restorant was closed (for winter it was said). The hotel does not have its own parking, a few places in front of... more

Everything is fine, but keep in mind some minuses: The rooms on the second floor have a wooden ceiling and all movements in the upper rooms are CLEARLY heard in the rooms below.... The restorant was closed (for winter it was said). The hotel does not have its own parking, a few places in front of the hotel but always full, and few options in the area. The paid parking card was expensive (arranged by the hotel) and without a separate bill. During the 5 days of our stay, the carpet floor was "not" cleaned. the remnants of a snack eaten during the first days were still on the carpet in front of the seat when we left.
